Sharper is accused of sexually assaulting nine woman in five states, including Louisiana.

He appeared in a Los Angeles County courtroom on Monday where the judge denied bail.

Sharper’s attorney argued it was unconstitutional to deny his client bail and requested he be released on house arrest.

Monday afternoon, the judge denied that request.

WDSU legal analyst Robert Jenkins weighed in on the strategy of Sharper’s legal team.

"It's hard to defend those cases because you have ladies -- in what? Arizona, Miami, New Orleans, California -- saying the same type of situation happened with them,” Jenkins said. “It's difficult to win them all so you try to put them together, work some type of plea agreement out, where he can serve his time in a certain jurisdiction, maybe California, and you bring them all to resolution."

Sharper will remain in jail in California.

He faces two counts of rape in New Orleans, but hasn’t been formally charged.

The Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office said the case remains an open investigation and gave no further comment.
